Leia had worn a white dress because she thought that she looked pure and innocent in white. Someone once told her that she looked like a beautiful flower when she wore white. On the way to the restaurant, Dexter had dirtied Leia's dress. It might not be an obvious stain, but Leia, perfectionist that she was, went to the boutique next door and bought a new set of clothes. After Leia changed her clothes and arrived at Restaurant Nine, Luke was not there yet. In the luxurious restaurant, Leia sat by the windows. She was looking at the city lights with an unwilling expression on her beautiful face.On a normal date, the man would be the one waiting for the woman at the restaurant. However, she went as far as making a booking in advance and waited for Luke. She felt wronged... Leia was dressed in an elegant yellow cocktail dress. Paired with her alluring makeup, she looked classic and dreamy under the restaurant lights. Her expression carried a trace of p
At the dining table, Leia looked at Luke, completely fascinated. She did not notice the coldness in his eyes. She said while acting shy, "That's not hard to believe. No woman can escape your charm. You're a smart man, and you should know how I feel about you. It was deep and sincere love at first sight." Luke concealed the sarcasm in his eyes, and he said in a neutral tone, "Thank you, Ms. Norman. I’m not worthy of your love." He looked at his watch and found that it was close to 8 p.m. He knew that Bianca would be anxiously waiting for him. Luke said, "Ms. Norman, are you done with your dinner? I have something else that I need to attend to. See you next time."Leia was unwilling, but she nodded when she noticed Luke's coldness. "Well, if you have something to attend to, please feel free to head back. I’ll see you soon." She knew that she had to be patient in her quest to claim Luke’s heart. She should not rush him. Otherwise, all her previous efforts would h
Bianca's phone slid from her hand to the ground and made a loud sound. In the chat group, Nina kept texting Bianca. [Are you okay, Bea? What's going on? Are you fighting with the boss again?] The chat notifications were getting to Luke, and so he turned off Bianca’s phone. "Let go of me." Bianca was pressed against the wall by Luke. Bianca tried her best to wriggle her way out while being mindful of the baby in her womb. Luke felt a little frustrated seeing her wriggling like a disobedient rabbit in his arms. He pressed down on her shoulders and lifted her chin. "Throwing a tantrum again, hm?" Bianca kicked him and glanced at him. "You’re late. How was your romantic date with Leia?" Luke choked when he heard Bianca's words. He carried her and strode towards the bedroom. Luke's arms held not only his wife but also their third child. He jokingly said, "If it feels good to date other women, I won't be rushing home to be with you now. Stop thro
Bianca looked at Luke's "hungry" expression and felt scared. She wanted to say “no” but she noticed that Luke looked pitiful. That was the uniquely pitiful look of a man. "We haven't made love for three months, Bea. The doctor said that we can do it after three months. I promise I’ll be careful." To others, he was a forbidding Cold-Faced Devil. To her, he was like a hungry little puppy. Bianca was amused by the stark contrast. Bianca thought about how Luke had been taking cold showers for the past few months, and she finally agreed. She slowly hugged his neck and said in a low voice, "Okay..." Luke nibbled her earlobes and mumbled, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you and our child..." Luke was a complete gentleman. Bianca felt his eagerness and tenderness, along with his compassion toward her. She felt like she was swimming in the clouds. Late at night. The moonlight outside the window gently shone into the bathroom. Those intimate times did
When Allison looked at Leia's look of disbelief, she realized that Leia had no idea about Bianca's pregnancy.Allison wanted to slap herself! 'Why do I have such a big mouth?'What if the unborn child causes a rift between Leia and Luke?'Allison leaned on the couch, took Leia's little hand, and coaxed her by saying, "The baby's existence is purely unexpected. None of us thought that Bianca could be so brazen to get herself pregnant before her marriage. But don't you worry, the Crawford family's rich and powerful. We can raise a few more children, not to mention just one more. The caretakers and I will take care of them at home so they won't bother you two."Allison devalued Bianca so much that she completely forgot the fact that she got pregnant before marriage too and forced herself into the position using her child.Old Master Crawford coughed heavily at the words coming out of Allison's mouth.Allison immediately hushed up, while Leia, still in shock, did not notice the small
It was the weekend. When Bianca was heading out, the two little ones were pestering her to go together.Worried about her grandfather, she did not have the extra time and patience to coax them, so she could only bring the kids with her.When the car drove to the shopping mall near Centercourt Mall in A City, sitting in a child car seat at the back, Rainie suddenly said to Bianca, "Mommy, my tummy feels a little upset. I want to go to the bathroom..."Last night, she did not listen to her mother's advice and ate a few more pieces of cantaloupe, resulting in a minor stomach ache.Seeing her daughter's cute face crumpled up in discomfort, Bianca asked Zander, the driver, to park in a nearby parking lot and let him and Lanie wait in the car while she accompanied Rainie to the restroom in the shopping mall.Ten minutes later, Rainie emerged from the restroom.Bianca held Rainie's hand and waited for the green light at the crosswalk, unaware that danger was just around the corner!Lei
At the hospital.They were racing against time, and Bianca's life was slipping away.The smell of disinfectant filled their noses, adding more unease to the cold air.Suddenly, the door of the operating room opened.Zander and the twins rushed to the doctor in a white coat and anxiously asked about Bianca's condition.Lanie even tensed his little body, almost holding his breath as he waited for the doctor's answer.The middle-aged doctor removed his mask and said solemnly, "Who's the family member of the patient? The patient's in a critical condition and needs immediate surgery. We also need her family's signature before that!""Doctor, the patient is my employer. I'm sorry, but I don't have the right to sign for her. Lanie and Rainie are too young to take charge, and Mr. Crawford is on his way over right now. Could you please operate on Mrs. Crawford first and have it signed when Mr. Crawford arrives?" Zander was worried, but he was not Bianca's direct family member and could n
Luke smelled blood mingled with disinfectant.The man's tall and imposing body was momentarily stunned and weak.He sat in front of Bianca's hospital bed, his long fingers stroking her blood-stained hair with a distinct tremble.As his fingers moved down, Luke touched Bianca's little face that had little warmth. Because her face was so pale, it made her long lashes look darker and defined.'Abortion, curettage, amputation...'The doctor's words rang in his ears again. Luke clenched his hands and seemed to see the bloody scene of Bianca being hit by a car.The woman he loved most was a treasure he protected in his palm. He was usually afraid to touch a single strand of hair, yet she was now on the verge of death as she lay on the hospital bed, like a withering flower, about to disappear from the world.The figure on the hospital bed was thin and delicate, looking particularly pitiful. Luke gently held Bianca's hand. Due to excessive blood loss, her fingers were soft but extrem
